Re: JDBCR4 help: having trouble front-ending Java DatabaseMetaData.getIndexInfo() for ILE RPG

Good to know. Not intuitive, to me, anyway. I suppose an indicator is
as close to boolean as RPG offers. It does make sense that the

Here's the Java/RPG type conversion table in the ILE RPG Programmer's Guide.

I think RPG's indicator type _is_ boolean in its intent. It's just its implementation as a byte that makes it a less than pure boolean.

Me, I think it would have been very unfriendly of RPG to map either Java boolean or RPG indicator any other way.
